Where can I buy humanely acquired milk and cream in Vancouver, BC?

It's possible that happy cows exist where you live. When I researched the same, I couldn't find anything. One of the problems is that half of the calves that are born are male. I couldn't find a farm that made sure that these male calves were treated humanely. They usually were sold to factory farms. Even in the best of farms, the cows are eventually sent to slaughterhouses which is often http://www.veganoutreach.org/whyvegan/transport.html. Also sick cows that require antibiotics are problematic for organic farms because after a certain amount of antibiotics they can't sell the milk/meat as organic anymore (exact regulations are probably different per country). These are things you may want to research before picking a farm. In my experience "certified humane" labels are only about very specific practices (more than x days a year outside) and don't really look at the big picture. See also http://www.veganoutreach.com/freerange/index.html which is about chicken farms, but it does explain why labels alone do not tell much about the way the animals are actually treated.

I believe Avalon has good practices, and their milk tastes great (available in organic versions too, and it's all in reusable glass bottles). Their stuff is available all over: IGA, SuperValu, Pricemart, Drive Organics....

Avalon gets their organic milk from Bradner Farms, which is SPCA certified* for its eggs and poultry. It really is available everywhere, from the crunchiest health food stores to chains like Save-On-Foods. Come the holiday season, they make a delicious eggnog. * Oddly I don't see it on their http://www.spca.bc.ca/welfare/farm-animal-welfare/spca-certified/spca-certified-farms/, but http://support.spca.bc.ca/site/MessageViewer?em_id=4121.0&dlv_id=11121 post from 2011 states: "Bradner Farms and Sumas Mountain Farm have begun producing broiler (meat) chickens under the SPCA Certified label. Bradner Farms has been a member of the program since 2010 and produces SPCA Certified eggs as well. "

Try and find a soy that's specifically formulated for coffee. Here in Oz we have Vitasoy Cafe, and the difference is really noticeable. You may need to try a few different brands before you find a soy that works for you in your coffee. You may even find nut milks more to your taste, so experiment before you write it off completely. As blub mentions, the existence of male calves makes ethical milk very hard to find.

Have you ruled out buying directly from producers at farmers' markets? http://www.managemymarket.com/api/productsearch.aspx?orgid=68#Milk. At the time of posting, this includes one goat-milk-only vendor and one with both goat and cow milk, called Farm House Natural Cheeses. Farm House Natural Cheeses attends East Vancouver (Trout Lake) Saturday Farmers Market, Mount Pleasant Sunday Farmers Market, Kerrisdale Saturday Farmers Market, Kitsilano Sunday Farmers Market, and Yaletown Thursday Farmers Market. You can ask them all the questions you have about treatment of the cows and the male calves. You might even be able to visit the farm.
